That section508.gov site doesn't give you a very good starting point for
making websites accessible.  Here's a link to what the Department of
Justice has put out specifically for the web:

I copied this to the community list.  If you have follow up, post there,
please.

The law, commonly called Section 508, does not prevent you from using
javascript, but it *does* force you to have alternative means of getting
the information.  Start your research here:
http://section508.gov/

I also strongly recommend that you follow the Accessibility guidelines
from the W3C at:

I believe it was on here that I heard about a new
law regarding government websites and javascript.
Can someone please let me know where I can get
more information regarding that law or rule etc...
